Indeed, even in its most early frame, this less known wizard of basic change, could be truly valuable for ABAP designers. I think, ABAP designers would love to have a graphical utility to create basic change/XSLT code. I was writing some glad-code to consume an external web service from ABAP. As the web service was returning the result data in the form of an XML string, I wound up composing a Simple Transformation to get the qualities in ABAP inner table.

I detected this enchantment stick in Simple Transformation editorial manager [ Transaction XSLT_TOOL ] and attempted to make it work. Be that as it may, couldn't unravel and composed the ST physically. Strangely, I couldn't discover any data about this alleged "Alter Simple Transformation Graphically" include. With all due respect, I looked on SAP OSS, SAP Help and SDN. There you go ...Well hunt include on SAP Sites.. is awesome in any case ;)

After a year, I coincidentally was venerating ( designers do this regularly ) my old code and it helped me to remember this utility. I gave figuring a shot by and by and figured out how to find something worth sharing. Learn SAP ABAP here.

Service proxy call provides data in the form of XML result. Code for proxy call is as below:

3. Click on 'Edit Simple Transformation Graphically' button (magic stick) and you will get the editor as below. Create a new root (right click - context menu ) in "Data Roots" section. I've named it NEWDATASET but the important thing is to enter the correct type, created earlier.

4. Now you can see the data root hierarchy as below. Drag and Drop the NEWDATASET root on right panel ( Simple Transfromation ). It automaically generates the ST nodes corresponding to the ABAP structure. However, you need to adjust the names as per the XML element names.
